Self-Injury Support Group

Whether you or someone you know or love struggles with self-injury, this is the community to discuss your experience, find support, meet others going through the same, and get advice on how to stop. Working together, we can help find alternative coping skills to reduce the urge to self-harm.

People WILL cry for you. Please get help. You are clearly a loving person to be concerned about your friends when you are in such a painful state that you want to end your own life. That alone makes me feel incredibly sad at the thought of your suicide, a nice person gone in a world where there are so many assholes.

they will, please hold on for them, Hold on for those you love (family, friends, pets) - trust me, seeing their tear-stained faces after a failed suicide attempt make you re-think your priorities

I hope this helps...

Reasons to Live-

Hold on for the day when you won't feel like this, because it's inevitable, even if you do nothing.

Hold on for the beauty of a sunrise, the day when you notice color again, and feel it reflected and magnified inside you.

Hold on for the day when the terrible Emptiness and inexhaustible Need are gone and you are free. It does happen. It happened to me, so have hope.

Hold on for the time when the voices in your head are saying &quot;good job&quot; instead of &quot;you're a failure&quot;, when the words in your head are supportive and nurturing.

Hold on for the day when you realize you haven't even thought of hurting yourself or killing yourself in ages and ages. It's such a surprise!

Hold on for the day when the only tears you have are from laughing so much, when the laughter just bubbles up naturally and smiles come so easily that your cheeks hurt.

Hold on for the day when you really feel and Know that you have something to offer, and that this something is not Pain, which is all you thought you had to offer before.

Hold on for the day when you can let other people's love get inside you, where you can feel it, when it doesn't just bounce off you without meaning.

Hold on for the day when your words make a difference in someone else's life - whether you see it or not, whether you understand it or not, whether you see all the ripples or not.

Hold on for the day when you laugh at yourself for all your little ways, even the ones that you used to find intolerable, because that's the day when you've accepted who you are and come to see it all as precious and endearing.

Hold on for the moment when you suddenly recognize that you've grown and changed, and are pleasantly surprised.

Hold on for the day when you look in the mirror and you are happy with who and what you see. That is a fantastic moment.

Hold on for the moment of transformation that occurs when there has been a deep shift inside you and a whole new world opens up in all its beauty and wonder.

Hold on for the day when you can really taste food again, when you notice the blue of the sky, the quality of light reflecting off leaves, the softness of a child's skin, the pleasure of someone's smile, the feeling of a gentle breeze on your face and ruffling your hair, the play of light through the trees, and you hear the beauty of a bird's song as if for the first time and in that moment, nothing else matters.

Hold on for the day when you suddenly notice that things have depth, that everything is no longer two dimensional.

Hold on for the miracle of the moment when you see yourself truly, as you are, and are awestruck, because it WILL happen if you let it. So hold on for the day when you grasp the wonder of who you are, behind and beneath all the pain and all your thoughts.

Hold on for the time when you feel all this creative energy inside you,
waiting to be expressed - whether it is through song, music, dance, art, writing, or just simply by loving.

Hold on if for no other reason than to see what happens next, because you can pretty much guarantee that sooner or later something you didn't expect will happen, and it might be good.

Hold on for the morning when you wake up feeling so totally relaxed and rested that your body is luxuriously heavy and that first stretch is
wonderfully decadent.

Hold on for the day when you *really* don't give a flying f*ck how you look, or what people think of you, because you are comfortable, not defiant.

Hold on for the day when you are no longer defined by other people's opinion of you.

They are your friends, of course they will cry for you. And cry. And cry. And wonder what they could have done to have kept you around. The fact that you have friends who care enough about you to cry if you go should tell you that you are worth saving. That you have a reason to be here. That it is worth it to hang on just to see what tomorrow brings. Each single life impacts so many others. Your passing (God forbid) would affect so many more than those in your immediate circle. Call one of your friends for help. Tell them you are in a really bad place and need to talk to them. This alone will make you feel like a loved and worthwhile person who should stick around. Peace and prayers be with you.

wat about ur happiness? if u give up now then ur never going to find urs. u have 2 fight for the happiness u deserve! giving up and killing urself is the cowards way out and ur not a coward! u have held on this long so why give up now? it will just be a waste of energy, a waste of tears. dont give up on urself. ur friends will cry, and so will ur loved ones and it would be over u, do u really want to let them suffer? they love u and want u 2 be happy! and u deserve to be so dont give up on urself!! x x x x

I didn't think anyone would care if I killed myself, but after I attempted I was proven wrong. I saw my mom's face and that haunts me to this day. That was like a year and a half ago but it's so vivid in my memory. You have to keep trying. I don't know for what, but someday we will all know.

please don't. please.
your friends will cry. your family will cry. people who don't even hardly know you will cry. it will affect more people than you realize!
i know it's hard. but talk to us. we're here for you.
much love,

suicide is such a selfish way out of this world. i tihnk that if you have made it this fa through all hte shit thats going on in ur life whats to stop you from making it through that last bit, things eventually get better. you need to draw in support and start making goals for yourself and do things to keep you busy to help you to get through it.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
